I’ve got to give props to team Cee-Lo Green. They have been trying their damndest to give the man some recognition beyond the “Fuck You” song. Unfortunately, although The Lady Killer is an excellent album (and “FU” isn’t even the best-or second best-song on it), the shadow of that song looms so large that it’s been a serious struggle getting anything else noticed.

Despite the fact that some tricky editing is gonna have to take place in order to make this song radio friendly, it’s already created a helluva lot of awareness for Lo’s upcoming “Lady Killer” album, which is scheduled to […]
